There are 613 shades of grey when it comes to the exercise of common sense in relation to how a Yid should act and relate to others, both other yiddin and goyim. In performing every mitzvah there are opportunities to perform that mitzvah in a quiet and respectful way that is mehader mitzvah and in some cases make a real kiddush hashem (not to devalue the term). However, it seems that a small minority here feel that acting in ways that insult, devalue or demean certain segments of society, in some cases just to troll the “snowflakes” is itself a mitzvah of sorts since the groups they upset in many cases are “leftists”, “kofrim”, “self-hating jews”, “anti-semites”, “Toevahniks” (to coin a term) or various derogatory terms for certain ethnic groups. Some costumes may be funny but still not cross the line. Common sense should be enough but clearly some relish in crossing the line to upset or impose hurt and pain on others. All they do is dig their hole deeper v’hamayvin yavin.
